Maybe if there is such a thing as luck ... the lame-stream drive-bys who would participate in the action described will understand the consequences. Action = consequence (opposite and equal reaction). The (consequence or reaction) would not be pretty imho. The dam has cracked, I pray.

So long as John Brennan dines close to the little barry bastard, men like Woodward have lives that hang by a thread. And the thugocracy wants that well understood, and that’s why taking out Breitbart in such an auspicious way was useful to their agenda.

Whoa...

It seems Woodward’s saying he’s not seen MADNESS like this administration displays in a long time...has hit the mark.

Looks like it certainly has hit the mark, SE Mom. Thanks for the heads up on this one.

Pinging more FRiends here...

Have you seen any of that which Breitbart claimed to have sett up, since he was taken out by the regime? No guarantees when it comes to the level of intel and criminality Brennan types bring to the scene.

Those are interesting insights. I personally believe he thought he could tear down America and rebuild it in his own socialist image, but he has just recently been thwarted by millions and millions of Americans stocking up on guns and ammo. He cannot finish his plans without disarming the patriots and the thought is driving him a little nuts. IMHO...

And let’s see who in the media sides with Woodward.

And there is the $64 question.

We will discover just who among the Washington press corps still has pretenses of being a "journalist"...and who has resolved themselves to serve the administration as a "propagandist". And, of course, a third group -- who won't take a public position because they are gutless.

Personally, I don't expect a lot of action on the "journalist" side of the street.

Dear Bob,

We need to put this issue to rest. Meet me in Fort Marcy Park at 4:00am. Come alone.

Yours,
Val

I think this is a major mistake on the part of the White House. Attack Bob Woodward? He is a living, breathing Liberal Hero! Very hard for the Lib's to brush Bob off as a crazy racist.

Understand that some members of the Washington Press Corps were already demeaning Woodward because he was publicizing that the sequester was Obama's idea. Ezra Klein, a fellow Postee has been particularly nasty.

This may well resolve itself into a generational dispute among the Washington Press Corps -- the older types who remember that it was all about "reporting" vs the younger class that are involved in "influencing public opinion".

This is more the style of Axelgreasy ... Jarret would designate someone to make the threat rather than do it herself. She’s smarter than Axelgreasy, just as evil, but smarter.

I seem to recall a certain high profile media person saying they were threatened with ruin if they aired questions regarding little barry bastard boy’s eligibility before the election. That had Axelrod’s ass-print all over it ...

There is still some hope for Woodward (if he gets mad and gets even) but Bernstein is totally a lost cause; he has consumed the rat Kool-Aid by the tanker full.

He should make it public if he wants to be believed.

The current Democratic Party line on this thing is that Woodward is old, washed-up, senile, and should retire. In other words, they’re acting like a good little bunch of totalitarian propagandists by impugning the messenger.

Doing what?

I don't think anyone even got a hangnail, never mind that nobody died, unlike Obama with Fast and Furious...or Bengazi.
